But, now, we are 6 feb, and I have these messages:

-rw-------  1 dovecot  dovecot  3822 Feb  2 11:11 1233569469.M275631P48216.helm.nicoelro.net,S=3822,W=3945:2,S

Sincerlery, I don't understand!


This night, I had:

Info: mailbox3 at domain.fr/Trash: no messages left
Info: mailbox2 at domain.net/Junk: no messages left
Info: mailbox1 at domain.net/Junk: no messages left
Info: mailbox2 at domain.net/Trash: stop, expire time in future: Fri Feb  6 19:43:55 2009

I can swear you I have new messages in Junk in mailbox1!

After, I ran command without --test, it deleted nothing... I ran a command with --test and I had:

Info: mailbox2 at domain.net/Trash: stop, expire time in future: Fri Feb  6 19:43:55 2009
The 3 other messages have been deleted. I don't know why.

I don't know why expired mail was not deleted...

Yes, expire plugin was enabled. I delete ALL my spams and ALL my Trash mails. And after, I activated the expire plugin.
